ArxCis-NV™DDR2 - Non-Volatile DIMM Module
ArxCis-NV™ is Viking Modular Solutions' answer for backing up mission critical data in the event of a power failure, without being reliant on sub-optimal battery technology. This data which resides in volatile DRAM, historically has been reliant on unreliable batteries for backup. ArxCis-NV now offers a highly reliable, secure, maintenance-free and disaster-free solution for critical RAID solutions. ArxCis-NV is environmentally conscious, a “safe and green” product with no toxic battery disposal required.
Simple Integration
In order to facilitate simple integration into industry standard sockets, the ArxCis module is a JEDEC pin compatible ECC DRAM module, paired with an integrated embedded SSD for data backup. ArxCis continuously monitors voltage levels from the host system, so that in the event of a voltage drop, the save function is activated. Backup power for the module is provided by supercapacitors, enabling the data to transfer into non-volatile NAND, where it can securely reside for up to 10 years.
Data Security
ArxCis securely stores the data in non-volatile NAND for up to 10 years, offering a substantially increased level of data security when compared to a BBU (Battery Back-Up) solution of 72 hours. Additionally, this data security comes with the added benefit of a significantly lower total cost of ownership.
Cost Savings
- Lower total cost of ownership
- No annual battery replacement
- No battery disposal
- Dramatic reduction in the number of service calls
